Yahoo! TV has put out a list of the top earning actors in television, and one has to imagine that there's a lot of folks missing from the list, otherwise we'd have to assume that Julie Bowen makes less than the kid, Rico Rodriguez, in "Moder Family," and that Lauren Graham is the only actor in "Parenthood" that ranks (unimaginable given that Craig T. Nelson, Peter Krause, Dax Shepard, and Monica Potter are also in that cast). It's an interesting list, all the same, if only to note that (fucking) Charlie Sheen makes more than twice what Jon Cryer does, and three times more than any other actor in prime-time television. That's the benefit of syndication, I suppose, and there aren't a lot of shows that make it into syndication anymore (which is why "Friends" and "Seinfeld" reruns still dominate that market).

It's also fascinating to see the folks who are criminally underpaid, at least in relation to the higher earners, like David Caruso (who earns $375,000 an episode for flipping off his sunglasses). Compare that to Jon Hamm, who only makes $100K an ep, or Zachary Levi, who makes $60,000 an episode, or $1,000 for every high kick. I wouldn't have thought that "Burn Notice's" Jeffrey Donovan earns twice more than Nathan Fillion, or that Tina Fey made more than Steve Carell (and no wonder Carell wants to leave the office -- he earns for a full year on that show less than what he can make with one movie).

Oh, and the kid in "Two and a Half Men," makes twice more than what Timothy Olyphant makes for "Justified." That smarts. But there is some justice in knowing that Jane Lynch earns more than Matthew Morrison on "Glee."
